One of my favorite meals ever is the BBQ Shrimp from a restaurant in New Orleans. Don't let the name fool you: the shrimp isn't grilled with a sweet barbecue sauce; it's simmered in a butter and Worcestershire sauce. This sheet pan version is reminiscent of these classic New Orleans-style shrimp flavors, but made much more quickly. You'll want to have some French bread handy to sop up the extra sauce!

Kapusta
This delicious kapusta recipe was passed down by my Polish grandmother. I grew up eating it at every holiday meal. It's often served as a side dish but makes a great main dish for vegetarians. Sauerkraut takes on a whole new flavor when baked — try it and see for yourself!
Cheryl's Lemon Chess Pie
A true Southern favorite, this is a wonderful chess pie with the tart taste of lemon. My great grandmother gave me this recipe and I make it every year for the holidays. This pie must be refrigerated.
